Hello

Amy & Eric

Engaged

They met in church choir…or, at least, that’s what he told his daughter (who didn’t buy it). But they actually met online in early 2021. “I knew he was special when, after chatting online for a few days, he said he wanted to meet me, but wanted to wait until he was fully vaccinated. Working […]

Sarah & Michael

Engaged

They met at the architecture firm where they both worked. That first year, they didn’t know each other very well, but became friends slowly over time as they worked together. They began dating in the fall of 2018, but both say the date is pretty arbitrary. They hung out many times as friends–lunch or dinner […]
